A GREAT DANGER WHICH MENAcEs AN IN
SUSPICIOUS PUBLIC.

The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, in London, reports that over fifty
people out of every hundred consump-
tives. are victims of constipated or in
active kidneys.
CONSUMPTION is one of our national
diseases, and the above report goes to
prove VIVA. has often been said in our
columns during the last eight years,
that kidney troubles are not only the
cause OF more than half OF the cases oil
consumption, but of ninety out OF every
hundred other common diseases. They
who have taken this position, made
their claims after elaborate investiga-
ton. and their proof that they have dis
covered specific for the terrible and
stealthy kidney diseases, which have
become so prevalent among us, is wise
and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful adj
vertising. They have challenged the
medical profession anu science to inves-
tigate. They have investigated, and
those who are frank have admitted the
truth of their statements. They claim
that ninety per cent. of diseases come
from inactive kidneys; that these mac
tive kidneys allow the blood to become
filled with uric acid poison; that this
uric acid poison in the blood carries dis
ease through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed
in the system within twenty-four hours
to kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it requires
only ordinary wisdom to see the effect
inactive kidneys must have upon the
system.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins
every organ. If the bowels, stomach
or liver become inactive, we know it at
once, but other organs help them out.
If the kidneys become constipated anG
dormant, the warning comes later on,
and often when it is too late, because
the effects are remote from The kidneys
and those organs are not suspected to be
out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased
are unable to resist the attacks OF this
poison, and the disease often takes the
form of and is treated as local afflic-
ton, when in reality the real cause of
the trouble was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men OF the present
day hold what was fact twenty years
ago, that kidney disease is incurable,
according to the medicines authorized
by their code. Hence, they ignore che
original cause of disease itself, and give
their attention to useless treating Of
local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine,
morphine, or with salts and other phys
les, hoping that thus nature may cure
the disease. while the kidneys continue
to waste away with Inflammation, ul-
ceration and decay, and the victim
eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood passes
through the heart, passes TIN ough the
kidneys. If the kidneys are diseased,
the blood soaks up this disease and takes
it all through the system. Hence it is
that the claim is made that Warmers
safe cure, the only known specific for
kidney diseases, which is sold so largely
by all dealers, cures 80 per cent. of
human ailments, because it, and it
alone is able to maintain the natural ac-
tivity of the kidneys, an to ncutralize
and remove the uric acid, or kidney
poison. as fast as it is formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is
inactivity of the kidneys. and there will
be produced in the system paralysis,
appoplexy, dyspepsia. consumption,
heart disease, headaches, rheumatism.
pneumonia, impotency, and all the
nameless diseases of delicate women.
If the poisonous matter is separated
from the blood, "a fast as it is formed,
these diseases, in a majority Of cases,
would not exist.
1t only requires particle OF small
poX virus to produce that vile disease,
and the poisonous matter from the kid
neys, passing all through the system
and becoming lodged in different weak
points. is equally destructive, although
more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into
the kidneys, aud how quickly the blood
passing through them goes TO the heart
and lungs and other parts of the system,
carrying this deadly virus with it, all
would believe without hesitation what
has so often been stated i'm the adver-
tisements in these columns, that the kid
news are the most important organs in
the body.
They may regard this article as an ad-
verti sement and refuse 10 believe it.
but that is Il matter over which we have
no control. Careful investigation and
science itself are proving beyond a
doubt that this organ is, in fact, more
important than any other in the system
as a health regulator, and as such
should be closely watched, for the least
sign of disordered action.
